TRACK - Rovaniemi300

Rovaniemi300, 22.-28 February 2019

Registration next 2019 race will be open next August 15th 2018

(will finish next December 15th 2018)

ROVANIEMI 300 HAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT SECTIONS:

First section of the track is the same as Rovaniemi150, so this section is very well signed and there is not need of
GPS but the Satellite Device Tracker (mandatory) to do the check-in in mandatory waypoints. All mandatory waypoints in this first section match with the Rovaniemi150 checkpoints. This checkpoints
have a limit time, so if you arrive when checkpoint is closed maybe you wouldn't find the tent but you can use the wood (if still some) if you want to do a fire.

Second section is quitte different (158 k), it follows an snowmobile track. There are signs, in some areas more than others. In some areas you will find very good snow conditions
and in others maybe you find deep snow and also you will find other snowmobiles tracks crossing, so all it do is confuse the right way... Track conditions depends on how long ago snowed and when
the last snowmobile went through there. In this section is recommended to use the GPS and of course, same as first section, the mandatory Satellite Device Tracker (check the mandatory gear in the
Race Rules page).
